Once a Zookeeper

Never before have animal poems been presented in this style, and by a veteran zookeeper. The many colourful examples of animals featured in this book are all part of the larger web of life. The use of poetry to present animals will rekindle readers' interest, understanding, respect, and appreciation for these beautiful creatures who share our earth.

Are you a teacher or a student? A nature-lover, an artist, or a story-teller perhaps? Amply illustrated and vividly peppered with anecdotal accounts from the author's vast experience working with animals, this book is written for you.

Young or old, all will learn something about animals and about themselves from this collection of personal poems.
